Can't Be Law Before 1955 Declared By Maryland Attorney General
Maryland Attorney General Edward D E Rollins ruled that the share the wealth liquor tax plan cannot take effect before 1955 even if lawmakers push it through. The opinion, issued at Budget Director James Rentie's request, said delaying the bill protects the 1954 55 budget and that local tax authority would be moot until July 1 1955. The plan aims to redistribute liquor revenue to counties and secures support from Comptroller Millard Tawes despite a lower state rate.
